STAY OR SUPPORT FOR WATER-JACKETS.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL IV. TRAYLOR, citizen of the United States,residing at Allentown, Pennsylvania, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Stays or Supports for VaterJackets, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention is an improvement in water jacket construction forfurnaces, andl is designed to provide particularly an improved stay orsupport between the jacket head and tire sheet. Stays are common in thislocation to stiifen the jacket, but so far as I am aware it has beencustomary to use an angle iron riveted to the outer head with the innerextension simply bearing against the inner head and unattached. In myimproved construction, made the subject of this applica t-ion, I rivetthe angle iron to the outer head and weld the edge of the stay to theinner head.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 shows a water jacket section inelevation, while Fig. 2 is a section through the same.

The stays or supports are of angle iron, indicated at A, the angleextension being riveted to the outer head in the ordinary manner.Instead of the inner extension of the stay bearing loosely against theinner head, I weld this securely in place by forming Specification ofLetters Patent.

Application led February 23, 1909.

Patented J une "7, 1910.

Serial No. 479,431.

Openings through the inner shell or fire sheet and then build up solidlythrough the opening or openings with new metal contacting with theexposed edge of the stay or angle iron, and filling up gradually untilthe opening is closed. This gives a very firm support to the sta-y andleaves the interior of the tire sheet perfectly plain.

`What I claim is:

l. In combination in a water jacket, an outer and an inner shell, and ametal strip constituting a stay set on edge between the shells, andhaving a riveted connection at one edge to one of the shells, and havingits opposite edge welded to the other shell, substantially as described.

2. In combination in a water jacket, an outer and an inner shell, ametal strip constituting a stay set on edge between the shells, andriveted at one edge to one of the shells and having its opposite edgewelded at intervals to the opposite shell, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

SAMUEL IV. TRAYLOR.
